Blencowe Books

[stirfoo]

I'm moving and decided to sell some books I've collected. I have first editions of Blencowe's "Designing Power Supplies for Valve Amplifiers" and "Designing Valve Preamps for Guitar and Bass". in excellent condition. I wanted to get an average price and holy moly! Are these books really that valuable? I've had them for about a decade I guess. I'm not trying to sell them here, I'm trying to figure out if I'm dreaming.

The respective ISBNs are:

978-0-9561545-1-4
978-0-9561545-0-7

Any input is greatly appreciated.

The 2nd edition preamp (hi-fi, guitar, valve, tube) books are readily available $35-$50.

Your ISBNs do seem to be asking $900 or not available.

Designing Power Supplies is valuable.   No idea what it would go for in reality, but it is truly not available.  I've looked for that one -- can not afford it.    FYI, he discontinued publishing of that book because of multiple errors (so he says).    But, I bet it would fetch a good price on eBay with an auction.

Designing Preamps, as mentioned, is available from his website, and the current edition is enhanced.  So, it would not be "logically" worth more than what he would charge, but heck, you never know.   Maybe there are some rare book collectors out there who are looking for amp books. . .
